Batman, a genius at both the strategic and tactical levels, is the chosen one who comes to hell to save the devil.
The script he got was supposed to be to use the Qishan Mine as the first base, gradually and steadily expand outward, and in the name of Qing Junzhi, force Belial to expel the conspiracy Schiller around him, and then gradually eat away all Belial's possessions.
Territory, and continue to fight until the hell is unified.
But as the saying goes, it's hard for a good woman to make a living without rice. If a person is having a bad year, his teeth will be blocked even if he drinks cold water.
Batman had just acquired a part of Belial's territory that was not strategically located and had few resources, but he was being besieged by all countries from all directions.
What's even more frightening is that these countries are not still the demon kingdoms of the Middle Ages. During the time when Batman unified the Seven Mountains Mine, other Schillers who applied for jobs with the demon lords were not idle either.
The vast majority of Schillers have successfully gained the trust of the demon lord, and many of them, like the conspiracy Schiller, have even alienated all the cronies around the demon lord, monopolized the power of life and death, and started drastic reforms.
The methods that Batman knows, Schillers also know, and some Schillers are even more experienced in infrastructure than Batman. After all, he comes from a country that was once poorer.
The conditions of each country in hell are not good, but in fact, several larger countries are relatively wealthy, have complete and systematic technology trees, and a group of magicians with good level. Although the quality of the soldiers is not as good as that of the modern army,
But because the devil's natural physical fitness is better than that of humans, it makes up for the lack of education, so it can be considered useful.
For Schiller, it is already quite good to not have to build a technology tree from scratch, not to start developing education from literacy, not to be so poor that steel has to be smelted repeatedly, but to want to dig out gold from the scrap metal that has been smelted thousands of times.
It's started.
Therefore, while Batman was still fighting in the mines, many countries around him began vigorous reforms. Although it was not possible to improve people's livelihood for a while, they did achieve great potential in terms of liberation war potential.
Progress is rapid.
The result was that Batman, who had just sold the Novice Village, met the True Overlord Sunset Crayfish at the entrance of the village, and there was not just one, but dozens of them.
The land occupied by Batman has a relatively unique geographical location. It is bordered by Belial, Astro and Azazel on three sides. At the same time, the largest rift valley in the southeast of the territory runs straight into Beelzebub.
The territory is almost impossible to defend.
It cannot be said that it is hiding in ancient times, it can also be said that it has no Poland at all.
What's even more frightening is that originally, these parties were at loggerheads, but as soon as Batman came out, all countries immediately adopted an attitude of friendly negotiation.
Astro and Beelzebub turned their hostility into friendship on the spot, and Belial and Azazel joined hands to reminisce about hundreds of years of friendship. To put it simply, the war can be lost, but Batman must die.
Batman doesn't need to think about it, he also knows who is behind the instigation, and what's even more outrageous is that there are some demon lords who are relatively far away from these people's territories and not bordering Batman, and they also want to participate in this.
Come in the midst of war.
Unexpectedly, these demon lords, who were usually very suspicious, sang "My door is always open" one after another. They borrowed roads when they were asked to borrow them, and borrowed troops when they were asked to borrow troops. In short, all the demons became a rope and vowed to
Nip the heretical force of Batman in the cradle.
At first, Batman did not realize the seriousness of the problem. He thought that the demon lords bordering him would definitely attack him, so he began to shrink the defense line, formulate a defense strategy, hold on to the city, and fight conservatively.
At the beginning, this method is indeed easy to use. The defender is always easier to fight than the attacker. In addition, the domestic railway lines have been completely connected, and the transfer of supplies is very fast. As long as the supplies are sufficient, it will not be possible to defend the city for several years.
question.
However, as several other countries have fully mobilized their firepower, reforms have deepened, and their infrastructure has gradually improved, they have mobilized resources and soldiers very quickly. And their troops themselves are much larger and more elite than Batman. The war
Less than seven days after the start, the defense line collapsed completely.
Batman was sitting in the Seven Mountains Mine under poor command, like a firefighter whose water gun was out of water. The battle report came in, and there were fires everywhere, but he didn't have many cards in his hand, and he played one less.
Moreover, he understood that he had no trump card to show, and he also knew that Schiller knew about this matter. Therefore, once he showed weakness, he would not lure the enemy deeper, but would only usher in a more crazy attack. He could not use the empty city strategy.
Batman rested his elbows on the table, covered his forehead with his palms, closed his eyes and took a nap. At this moment, Merkel walked in furiously, holding a battle report and saying: "The western front has been
There is no way to retreat. Beelzebub's army in the Great Rift Valley is still marching. It is less than a day's journey from our defense line. Where should the third battalion group we prepared be transferred?"
Batman suddenly woke up from his dream. Merkel glanced at his face. Now, Batman looked very embarrassed because he had not had any rest for seven days.
It is true that there is almost no need to eat, drink and sleep in hell, but this does not mean that after seven days of intense mental work, no rest is needed.
After Batman's genius brain was running at top speed for several days, Merkel could already smell the burning smell of overloaded parts from such a distance.
He hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell Batman the bad news that the southern front had just been broken through. Batman took the battle report in his hand and opened his eyes in a daze. Merkel said: "I think, you
You should go take a rest."
"Those Schillers think so too." Batman spoke, his voice already hoarse to the bottom. He said: "They are just waiting for an opportunity. When I make a mistake, there will be a total collapse, and I can't give them this
Chance."
"But you can't keep forcing yourself like this." Merkel frowned and said, "The body is the capital of revolution. Haven't you noticed that the strength of your soul is constantly declining?"
"That day, I heard the great mage of Shazhou City say that the human soul is the most sophisticated among all races. Ordinary methods cannot replenish our soul energy, and we can only rely on natural recovery."
"If you tire your body out, it will produce various negative effects, and it is likely to affect your physical condition after you return to reality. This impact is permanent."
"But I must win this battle before I can return to reality." Batman shook his head slightly, stared at the sand table on the table, and said attentively: "Although they are constantly attacking our defense line, there are also waves of attacks.
times, which means that as long as we can block the next wave of attacks, theoretically speaking, we can block all waves."
Merkel sighed and said: "But that's only theoretically speaking. Do you know what your theory means?"
"It means that no one can make mistakes." Merkel tapped the table with her fingers, and then said: "This is unrealistic. More importantly, you can't make mistakes. Can you really not make mistakes?"
Merkel pointed to the sand table on the table and said: "Now, we are under attack from four directions, southeast, northwest, plus the five directions of the Great Rift Valley that goes straight into the country. The western battlefield is the shortest line of defense, but a line of defense
You have to withstand at least 50 impacts a day."
"That is to say, we have to withstand more than 200 attacks every day, and the tactical level of our grassroots commanders is still at the original demon war period. We cannot expect them to formulate any above-average strategy, understand orders and execute
If we continue to implement it, it will be the most perfect situation."
"In other words, among these more than 200 attacks, all the decision-making pressure is on you alone. With more than 200 attacks a day, we will have to hold on for at least ten days."
"Among these more than 2,000 decisions, you cannot make any mistake or deviation in any decision. You may even need to save when there is a deviation in execution."
"All the decision-making pressure will be on you alone." Merkel shook her head and said: "I believe in your wisdom and your willpower, but you know that this kind of intensity of pressure will not be achieved without a driving force."
You cannot hold on to your forward momentum."
Batman took a deep breath and said: "Of course I know, but we will discuss this issue later. Let's solve these urgent strategic issues first."
Batman discussed with Merkel for a while and initially decided on the next defense strategy. Just as Merkel said, although the major countries in hell have carried out certain reforms, their productivity has improved, and their combat methods have also changed.
changed, but has not yet completely transformed into modern warfare.
Without the sea, land and air three-dimensional attack mode and information warfare mode, the vast majority of wars are still based on sequential charges. Theoretically speaking, as long as the strongest wave of charge attacks are blocked, the remaining attacks can be blocked.
.
However, in the delicate battlefield, every situation that may occur and every tactic that needs to be deployed needs to be decided by Batman, and he has no room for error. If he makes a mistake, he will lose everything.
There is no clear day and night in Hell, but during a certain period of time, the magma left in the sky will become dim. This is what Hell calls night, but the river of lava on the distant skyline is still bright, and the bats
Xia stood on the top of the mine, looking at the smoke rising from the lava river in the distance.
On the skyline, the silhouette of a castle is particularly conspicuous. It was the castle where General Rottenheart originally lived, but now it is Schiller's residence.
In the past few days, Schiller has never shown up, and when Batman left last time, Schiller was not in very good condition. When he thought of this, Batman jumped from the top of the mountain, and a small black shadow leaped over
Between the huge mines, after a while, we arrived at the gate of the castle.
After thinking for a while, Batman did not enter through the main entrance, but went around to the back of the castle and climbed over the wall.
As soon as he landed, he heard a voice above his head: "Unfortunately, this castle does not have a garden. Otherwise, maybe I could enjoy the sight of you hanging up by the awning again."
Batman looked up and saw Schiller standing on the balcony on the second floor of the castle looking down. Batman walked in through the back door of the front hall, walked up the stairs to the bedroom door, and knocked on the door.
But at this moment, he saw that the demon named Claude was fully armed and carrying a spear in his hand. He looked like he was about to go out. Schiller opened the bedroom door, and Batman left.
Go in.
"Are you leaving here?" Batman asked.
Schiller nodded. He glanced at Batman's state and said, "Yes, I have other things to do."
"It's very dangerous for you to leave now." Batman's tone remained unchanged. Schiller looked at Batman's pale face. He knew what had happened recently. Before Batman could speak, Schiller said: "I told you, I
When I come to hell, I will never be the one in danger."
Schiller raised his head, but then he turned back to stare at Batman and said, "You were right before. My own emotions are relatively weak, but I can feel the emotions of others keenly."
Schiller closed his eyes, sighed and said: "When you asked me the first question, I felt that you cared about me, but do you really care about me?"
Suddenly, Batman saw Schiller showing an extremely crazy smile. Then he walked forward, faced Batman face to face, stared into his eyes and said, "Do you know why other personality traits target me?"
"Why?"
"This is a competition." Schiller said, raising his voice: "And the prize for victory is the qualification to control the body with consciousness. In other words, the winner can replace me."
Schiller stared into Batman's eyes and said, "If you lose, you'll never see me again... That's good news, right?"
"Let me hear, are you feeling happy and relaxed?"
Batman raised his head slightly, and he clearly felt that a flame in his chest was ignited by negligence, like a lamp bright enough to illuminate hell.
What is there that can support him, complete the impossible task, gain the great power he has never had, and become the real person chosen by God?
Is it justice? Is it revenge?
No, Batman thought, maybe, salvation.
Save the person who is least likely to be saved in the world, his enemy, his mentor, they will soon become one - Schiller Rodriguez.
However, whether it is Schiller or the clown, they both show resistance to care and never respond. People who care about them are like performing to the air, like a real clown.
But Batman doesn't care. He is more paranoid than others on any issue.
…Wait a minute, is Schiller really not going to respond?
At this time, Schiller had passed Batman and was about to leave, but at this time, Batman's voice came from behind him.
"Then why did you leave?"
Schiller's back only paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward.
Batman looked at his back and thought, this is really a very classic Pride and Prejudice.
